Pistons' Mascot Endures Rough Weekend

Even by the standards of a professional sports mascot, the humiliation suffered by Hooper this weekend was extreme.

Hooper, a horse who has served as the Detroit Pistons' mascot since 1996, was unexpectedly jumped by several Brooklyn Nets players before Friday's game between the Pistons and the Nets.

Not only did Hooper get his revenge, his team topped the Nets, 103-99.

On Sunday the Pistons hosted Robin Lopez and the streaking Trail Blazers. Of course Lopez's twin brother, Brook, plays for the Brooklyn Nets. Before Sunday's game Robin Lopez and Hooper exchanged some words on Twitter.
